Reply from Deanna, Age 14 - 08/13/07 - IP#: 24.62.245.xxx You should talk you your doctor about what they think you should do to lose weight. Ask about a nutritionist too. Good luck!
Reply from Michelle, Age 13 - 08/13/07 - IP#: 69.68.17.xxx Going to a doctor sometimes is not that helpful because they just say, "Lose weight! Stop eating!" like my doctor does. It's true that I need to lose but he's not so nice about it. There are people here you can talk to here (me). :) Maybe we can share a food journal or just come and talk after school if we're hungry or had a bad day. Let's help each other. I was 115 when I was 8 too and my mom and I are trying to stop it now. Maybe just try to eat half of what you usually eat like the site says. That's a start.

I think its great u want to lose weight.but I think 5000-8000 calories a day its just over doing it for u to start doeting I'd say start with 2000-2500 calories a day then improve by getting to 1500 a day for a regular bases blive me 2000 calories a day is cutting out about 6000 calories of wat u regularly eat ud lose A LOT of weight at first bc ur cutting out a pound a day and drink more water and less soda and atleast workout 30 min aday even if its walking belive ud feel SOOOOO much better!!! Try it. Aim- genessisxxbabii if u ever want to talk.:)
